Back To The Titanic Views
Although it didn't manage to reach the success of its counterpart soundtrack, Back to Titanic was a big commercial success, specially considering that the film and original soundtrack were released over eight months before it. It debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and then the following week reached its peak position of #2 with 164,000 copies sold (it was knocked-off the top spot by Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill which sold 265,000 copies that same week). Back to Titanic has been certified Platinum in the United States for sales of over 1 million copies.[1]
James Horner's score for James Cameron's epic romance Titanic is much like the film itself o— against all expectations, it delivers exactly what it promises. His score is grand, without falling into typical melodrama, and delicately romantic, without being sickly sentimental; it offers genuine emotion and excitement, with the haunting vocals of Norwegian singer Sissel providing a nice counterpoint to Horner's blend of strings, vocals, orchestras, and synthesizers. Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On may feel a little like an afterthought, especially after experiencing Horner's wrenching, affecting score, but its heart is in the right place. Nevertheless, it is Horner's instrumental work and its whirlwind of emotions that makes the score of Titanic a voyage worth repeating.
Jeffrey Katzenberg was right: 3D is the future of movies. USA Today interviewed Avatar director James Cameron about this new era of filmmaking, and the director revealed plans to bring a certain unsinkable hit back to theaters in 2012, this time in 3D: Titanic. Because of the success of Avatar y— and now Alice in Wonderland y— studios are scrambling to release as many big titles in 3D as possible. Thanks to computer technology, 3D effects can be added to films shot without the use of 3D-specific cameras like Cameron used for Avatar. This includes Warner Bros.c’s upcoming Clash of the Titans, a film that was not shot in 3D, but is being converted to 3D over an eight-week period in hopes of capturing more attention (and higher ticket sales) at the box office.
Titanic, for its time, was actually a quite technically advanced film. Many of the interior and exterior shots were completely computer-generated, as was much of the water in the film. That offers up some better options when re-processing the film for 3D because artists are working with digital imagery t— not to mention the improvements in visual effects and CGI that have taken place in the ensuing 13 years.
